Choose the best month for the perfect experience
Align activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Stay on marked snow routes and assess avalanche conditions before heading out. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Check safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring marks bloom season in many valleys: avoid muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and go at sunrise for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glaciers, swim only in designated areas, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings lead to calmer hikes. Seek quieter huts and stay on durable paths.
